Wall Street Legend

The yacht sets off quickly and is so smooth that you can hardly feel it moving without a reference.

The excitement of getting the Boeing 747 has not passed yet. Ye Dongqing suddenly felt that it would be good to have such a big ship traveling between Manhattan and his own island. However, in recent times, with the crude oil futures and selling Skype, have you made any money? Wrong, but for the sake of personal reputation, it is better to keep a low profile in the near future. After all, not everyone admires his success, but more of them are jealous.

He drank a glass of tequila as soon as he got on the boat. He was not pretentious at all. This made Mr. David Geffen even more pleasing to him. He laughed and said: "What an amazing achievement. I still accomplished nothing when I was your age." , times have really changed that people like us don’t know each other. My good brother Steven Spielberg has been studying the so-called computer special effects technology all day long. He dreams about shooting another blockbuster. If he shoots Star Wars also had this kind of technology back then, so Lucas didn’t have to mess around with it!”

When it comes to David Geffen, even the most powerful Hollywood star must respect him.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is one of the most powerful people in Los Angeles, especially in the entertainment industry. This super-rich man who is over 50 years old and whose net worth is almost the same as his age. Although he cannot make movies, his fame is comparable to that of those All great directors are powerful and have an astonishingly wide network of contacts.

The people at the top of the Forbes rich list are all high-minded people, and Ye Dongqing can feel the enthusiasm of the other party.

To be honest, he still has a lot to learn. It is true that he bought a lot of things from the past, but he is still far from the mentality of a super rich man. Whether it is the old man in front of him who loudly tells others about his true sexual orientation, or the old man like the old Huahua Young Master Larry Ellison and others are living according to their truest thoughts, but he worries about too many things and often feels tired.

But it may be because they are young. When they reach their age, I believe they don’t care too much. If they don’t live as they please when they have so much money, then why bother struggling to reach this age when they can retire long ago.

It was so early in the morning, not long after the first glass of wine was consumed, he ate a few slices of watermelon and then drank the second glass. This made Ye Dongqing worry that the group of people in front of him would be drunk before they reached the fishing spot.

Tim Cook has known David Geffen for some years because of some special gatherings, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't drink. People know that he doesn't drink much, and he has business matters to be busy at any time.

He deliberately blinked at Ye Dongqing before, which made Ye Dongqing full of doubts. He guessed that it was probably not a chance meeting, so he made a mental note to pretend to be drunk first to avoid making any stupid decisions after drinking too much.

With a smile on his face, he replied: "I am very interested in Hollywood, and I have recently invested in a movie. But it is different from ordinary movies. The script is customized. I mainly want to advertise my own company's products, and I will also enter the movie industry. It would be great if the cost of a theatrical release could be recovered.”

"Don't forget to ask me next time. I will recommend the best director for you. Who is the director you hired?" Mr. Geffen asked him. His face was already turning red. The sun is good today and the California waters are already relatively hot in June. , also wearing a white hat on his head.

"Mr. Brian Palma."

"...Oh, that guy is not bad. I've met him a few times at parties before."

Steven Spielberg is Mr. Geffen's partner. The two have worked together for so many years. He is qualified to say that the director who filmed the first part of "Mission: Impossible" is just not bad. There is no need to skip this topic. Let’s talk and prepare the fishing rod first.

Seeing that he didn't mean to get to the point, Ye Dongqing didn't ask further questions. He picked a fishing rod at random and started to prepare the hook and fake bait. There was a box of live lugworms in the box next to it. It looked a bit disgusting, with pork, beef, and animal offal. The things are stirred up and emit a fishy smell. They will be poured into the sea later to attract prey. Several crew members are preparing.

The common hobbies of rich people are nothing more than that, such as raising horses, golf, tennis, fishing, drinking, smoking cigars, picking up girls, etc. If you try various tricks, your life will never be too boring.

Little Edward's mother was rich, and Richard Rockefeller's grandfather was rich, but they were far behind compared to Ye Dongqing. There were so many brothers and sisters in the Kalkawi family that even he didn't know how many there were. You certainly don’t have to worry about food and drink, but the exact amount of money you will get is still unknown.

I usually play with them, but today I accidentally changed the circle. The super rich can no longer be measured simply by how much money they have. At least David Geffen seems to be invincible in the entertainment industry. He and Ye Dongqing have no disputes over their interests. So we got along more happily, and the result of the conversation was that the third glass of wine was quickly consumed. This made Ye Dongqing feel that the old man was trying to get himself drunk. The alcohol content of tequila is often higher than that of whiskey, and it made his throat taste spicy. Stomach.

I was still listless when I went out in the morning, but now I feel energetic...

David Geffen also brought a few friends, one of whom was the drummer of the Eagles. Ye Dongqing didn't recognize him and was slightly surprised. The song "Hotel California" was a hit all over the world. He had naturally heard it and heard other people say it. Only then did I find out that the Eagles were once under Mr. Geffen, so it was normal for them to get closer.

Holding back his doubts, when Apple's interim CEO Cook went to the bathroom, he followed him, looked back, and only asked when he saw no one was around: "What's going on today? If you drink me more, I'll get really drunk." We are a team!”

Amused by this statement, Mr. Cook smiled and said: "I just want to talk about cooperation with you. Geffen wants to move some movies to your Youtube website for sale, and also has the idea of ​​​​cooperating with you to start a new company." , specializing in selling movies on the Internet, there is no technical difficulty in this, right?"

"I understand. This old man is quite trendy. He can even think of this. However, the current network transmission speed is too slow. It is difficult to watch short films. Movies are even more stressful. Otherwise, my Youtube would be like this."

What Ye Dongqing calls miserable is already considered a success in the eyes of others. There are more than 20 million registered users and hundreds of thousands of users uploading video content. If it weren't for the poor experience and being limited by the poor network transmission speed of this era, There are definitely more than 800,000 daily active users now.

It's similar to his previous idea. He still has to operate slowly and wait. The valuation is currently only about US$400 million, and the market prospects are predictable.

Recently, many companies are developing similar products, which makes Ye Dongqing regret that he had realized the idea of ​​the video social platform so early. He should have held back for another two or three years. With Facebook's terrifying user base, he was not afraid that he would not be able to get up by then. Come……
